This document discusses self-awareness and the different components of self-identity. It addresses how well people know themselves, including their strengths, weaknesses, attitudes, beliefs, and values. It identifies three components of self - material, social, and spiritual. People are also affected by the roles they assume and the labels they use to describe themselves. Self-esteem is influenced by gender, social comparison, self-expectations, and self-fulfilling prophecies. Perceptions are shaped by stereotypes, the media, and understanding the difference between "good guys" and "bad guys." Self-awareness and understanding between people requires respect.
